Cadbury Eggs

Cadbury Eggs

1/2 cups light corn syrup

1/4 cup butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 cups powdered sugar

4 drops yellow food coloring

2 drops red food coloring

1 - 12 oz. bag milk chocolate chips

2 tablespoons shortening

Combine corn syrup, butter, vanilla and salt in large bowl. Beat

well with electric mixer. Add sugar, one cup at a time, mixing by

hand after each addition.

Remove about 1/3 of the mix and place in small bowl. Add yellow

& red coloring and stir. Cover both mixes and refrigerate at

least 2 hours.

When mixes are firm, roll a small ball from the orange filling

and wrap around it a portion of the white filling that is twice

that size. Form into the shape of an egg and place onto a cookie

sheet that has been brushed with shortening. Repeat with remaining

ingredients. Refrigerate 3-4 hrs.

Combine chocolate chips with shortening in glass bowl. Microwave

on high for 1 minute. Then stir and microwave another minute.

Use a fork to dip each center into the chocolate. Place candy

onto wax paper to dry. After 1-2 hours of chilling, dip each candy

one more time and chill.
